Cheryl Thompson's Linkedin Analytics

A successful, human-focused, & in-demand Financial Services leader with 25 years of highly effective hands on experience. In 2017, I chose self-employment so to create a business whereby I could independently & freely mentor, coach, educate, & consult across industries with multiple clients. I KNEW businesses needed what I had to offer. My therapeutic coaching practice builds leaders who are skilled at empowering themselves & others to be independently self-led; to be able to communicate courageously, authentically, & effectively, & in doing so, building trust, safety, & efficient productivity for all. I have a particular passion for enabling people to have those difficult conversations aka #ToughTalks, that tend to be "dodged", "diluted", or "destroyed" & cause relationship ruptures, but, when done well, these conversations create mutual respect & trust. I work with both businesses & private clients across different levels & functions, from founders, CEOs, board members, c-suite executives, directors, & senior managers. I provide tailored therapeutic coaching, exploring root cause issues; as well as hands on mentoring, human behavioural education, & consulting services that address the specific needs & challenges of each client, such as performance, career progression, organisational strategy, process creation, boundaries, culture, & people. I use my logical planning abilities evidenced by my PRINCE2 & ITIL certifications, as well as my extensive background in financial services, consultancy, and leadership roles, to deliver practical, balanced, relevant, & impactful solutions. My mission is to create a safe & empowering human-focused leadership space where everyone can safely speak, listen, & connect with utter confidence & honesty with all of our differences. Personal: For me, living with joy matters the most. I am a woman who loves nature, psychology, live music, & (unapologetically) half-finishing many books. I’m recently diagnosed with autism, yet another interesting journey! My other love is societal observation, which fascinates me! If we work together, or even if you read some of my posts, you will indirectly meet my other loves - my family, particularly my two stepchildren, Luke & Cara, who I talk about throughout LinkedIn, & who teach me so much about life, the most empowering partner, John, & our AMAZING ginger Cockerpoo, Lola, literally my best friend, who will be found dozing in the background as we Zoom! 🐾 But who are you? I can't wait to know, so jump into my DMs & tell me all about the incredible YOU.
